Requirements

  • Embrace high beta/volatility: understand failure is likely, fail fast, learn quickly, be transparent about failures, tackle hardest problems first, avoid sunk costs
  • Unreasonable hospitality: obsess over customer needs, spend equal time understanding "why" from users as building "what"
  • Relentless bias for action: prioritize shipping and real-world feedback over planning, measure progress by what is built and learned
  • Contrarian thinking with common sense: constantly identify what's missing
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and take ownership (inferred from team culture)
  • Based in New York, NY (in-person work model, relocation assistance offered)
  • Senior-level full stack engineering skills (inferred from role: design/prototype/productionize workflows, integrate systems, build evals, etc.)

Responsibilities

  • Embed with enterprise customers (Am Law firms, in-house teams, professional services) to map workflows, de-risk constraints, and define success metrics for custom builds
  • Design, prototype, and productionize custom workflows: customize knowledge sources/retrieval pipelines, tool use/agents, prompts, guardrails; harden for reliability, observability, scale
  • Integrate workflows with client systems (DMS, KM, ticketing, identity/SSO) and data sources; build secure connectors to Harvey platform
  • Build and maintain evals & harnesses to capture real-world quality per client, wiring into iteration loops and model choices
  • Operationalize adoption: run training, write runbooks, create hand-off playbooks to customer champions and Harvey product/eng for scaling
  • Surface field patterns (recurring prompts, tools, workflows, failure modes) to inform platform capabilities and product roadmap
  • Move quickly from prototype to deployment, surface patterns from field to feed into platform/product
